JULIA'S House is seeking volunteers to help out at its high street shops across Dorset which have recently reopened following the third national lockdown.

The Dorset and Wiltshire Children’s Hospice charity is seeking volunteers for its shops in Bransgore, Christchurch, Poole, Shaftesbury, Weymouth and Wimborne.

The charity’s chain of shops relies on volunteers throughout the week.

Currently it is looking for till operatives to serve customers and keep them informed about the charity’s work, and people to help with sorting and steaming donations to the shops, all within a Covid-safe environment.

Volunteer Co-ordinator for Julia’s House, Liz Thompson said: "You don’t have to have experience to be a volunteer at Julia’s House as we provide all the training you will require.

"You just need to be friendly, reliable and have the confidence to talk to our customers and make them feel welcome. It’s a great feeling to be supporting your local community and will make all the difference to the children and families we care for locally.

"We would love to hear from anyone who has a few hours to spare."

If you are interested in volunteering, email Volunteer@juliashouse.org or pop into a local shop for more information.
